Ken and I met at an auction earlier this week. There was a lot of "stuff". Ken scored a $2 wooden stepladder. Several tables with household items. I love old dishes. Pie pans. Bowls. I waited 3 hours for these--

A Pyrex nesting bowl set in primary colors. Of course, several other bidders had waited along with me! This set was in very good condition, no scratches and the color hadn't worn anywhere. You often find individual bowls, in the years of use one or more of the set gets broken. Yes, I had the last bid and they will go on my shelf of "precious treasures". Sometimes its not the value of the item, but the memory that makes these things precious. My mother and grandmother never had a set of these--but I know they would have loved them.

Good Morning, Lori,An auction? How fun...I would love a wooden ladder! Lucky you!!(If you ever run into a vintage dress form (that's cheap)...I really want one. I would drive to your place to pick it up!!

And those bowls...love them. My mom had the full set too. I still have the little blue one, but don't know what happened to the rest.

What is your water situation where you are? I have seem some pretty devastating pictures...
